Cost

Our SDI Open Water course is POA. This includes all materials, certification fees, boat dives and gear rental. Fully inclusive, you need not worry about paying anything else.

We encourage divers to consider owning their own mask, fins and perhaps wetsuit as this increases personal comfort tremendously. However it is not essential and your course includes rental of these.

We also offer bespoke private courses for two people. With your own personal instructor, you’re able to create a personal schedule. Speak to us about the cost of this bespoke option.

Do I Need a Diving Medical ?

In most cases no. You’ll be asked to complete the RSTC Diving medical form and as long as you can say no to the questions or we have no obvious concerns then you’re good to go. If you need a medical to make sure you’re fit to dive, we can recommend doctors. This isn’t included in our course price. Any questions just ask !

Is my SDI Open Water Diver Certification recognised everywhere ?

Yes indeed. Scuba Diving International (SDI) is one of the major training agencies in the world and a member of the world recreational training council. Other members include SSI & PADI. This ensures that your certification is recognised around the globe and is interchangeable, meaning you are not tied into one agency should you choose to take another course later on.
